In college (back in the day!) one of my favorite classes was a printmaking class. One of the printmaking styles we learned about was linoleum block printing. We used this tool for carving:

SUPPLIES:~Erasers
~#2 Pencil and paper
~Stamp pad
~Cuticle remover (yes, the one for manicures!)
Step One: Trace the size of your eraser on a piece of paper.
Step Two: Draw a little picture. No need to flip the image -- Draw it just as you want your stamp to print. Not an artist? Print out a clipart picture and trace it with your pencil.
Step Three: Cut out your picture, place it face down on your eraser, and rub.
Your picture should transfer very easily.
Step Four: Take your cuticle remover and carve exactly along your lines. This might take a little practice. Remember to use one continuous motion -- don't stop in the middle of a line! -- or your line will get a little choppy. If you mess up, just flip your eraser and start over on the other side.
I cut my eraser down to fit my image better.
Step Five: Ink it up and stamp away!
